Ulwe (also Ulwa, Ulva, or Ulawe) is an upcoming posh and upmarket suburb of Raigad District's Navi Mumbai situated beside Belapur and Nerul and home to Navi Mumbai International Airport officially named DB Patil International Airport. It is developed and maintained by CIDCO. It is soon going to come under the purview of the Panvel Municipal Corporation.
Ulwe has a sports complex with football, badminton, hockey, swimming pool, and indoor stadium.[1] Ulwe has seen drastic increase[clarification needed] in property rates due to its geographical location and proximity to the under-construction Navi Mumbai International Airport expected to be functional by March 2025, Seawoods-Uran railway line expected to be fully functional by December 2022, and MTHL Trans Harbour Link from Sewri to Chirle village in Nhava Sheva was opened to public on 12 January 2024.[2]
Ulwe has big land parcels belonging to Reliance Industries Ltd. on which big residential and commercial activities are expected[by whom?] to start. It has 3 railway stations named Kharkopar, Bamandongri, and Targhar railway stations.
Being a newly developing node of Navi Mumbai, many buildings and constructions are being developed in Ulwe.[3] CIDCO buildings are also being constructed in there.
A coastal road is also proposed which will act as a connector between the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link and the new NMIA (Navi Mumbai International Airport), and another arm of the coastal road will connect the sea link to JNPT. The sea link has its first interchange at Shivajinagar, Ulwe, and second at Chirle near Dronagiri node in Navi Mumbai.
